How we handle bath repair in Crockerhill

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Crockerhill

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Crockerhill

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Crockerhill?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
